In this study, the effects of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System on energy gain and climate change in an industrial company operating in the cement industry were examined. In addition to preventing CO2 emissions, it has contributed to the efficient use of natural resources by obtaining fossil fuel savings. In this study, it has been demonstrated that a great deal of energy can be saved by reusing the heat from the preheater and cooler in the production process of the cement industry and recovering waste materials. It has been found that improving energy efficiency reduces CO2 emissions from electricity and fuel consumption and CO2 emission decreased by 6811.87 tons by evaluating energy consumption and release of emissions within the scope of ISO 14001 management system. Thus, it has been calculated that the CO2 emission to the atmosphere in tons was prevented and this rate decreased in the targets. With the established management system, a proactive environmental culture has been created within the company, and as a result, positive contributions to climate change have been obtained.
